Why groubal, Why Now?
Many Americans are fearful and frustrated as they try their best to cope with everyday life in a very uncertain world. The American Consumer is growing angry, irritated and simply fed up with how big business is treating them and ignoring their grievances. People’s voices are not being heard and this widespread condition is breeding serious resentment across all demographics and there is a tipping point for all this hostility on the near horizon.
Groubaling gives consumers a stage to stand up and be heard along with the tools to harvest the support of others that share their pain. Think of this simple analogy: One person calls a company to register a criticism; they are told to wait patiently for a response which never comes. This 1 voice is never heard. Then oddly enough fifty other individuals call that same company to gripe on this issue. And still the collective volume is not loud enough to trigger any reaction. Now 3 weeks later 100 thousand individuals call that company’s switchboard (and fire off emails) and suddenly the phone system crashes and not even the largest customer (of that company) can get through to anyone. Then magically the company holds a press conference to address the problem and has the nerve to call themselves a Responsible Corporation…that’s just hogwash I say! The lesson learned is that there is great power in numbers, simple as that. Large crowds make LOUD noise. And thunderous rackets always get ATTENTION.
Groubal is the right platform at the right time. Groubal is for everyone and anyone that has a bone to pick with big business; rich man poor man matters not because the stakes will never be higher than they are today. Groubalers who take our stage come away with the feeling of redemption, with conviction and viewable evidence that their voice matters and counts for something. The time is NOW for the people to be heard and for businesses large and small to be Responsible and Reactive to the masses. Right is Right and Wrong is Wrong. And being a GROUBALER is just GREAT!

Everyone should be groubaling NOW to make sure their voices are heard my Corporate America.
Robert,
In the aftermath of the BP Fiasco in the Gulf, I believe that consumer frustration with large corporations is at all time high. You’re doing a good thing here and it will put pressure on Big Business to be more responsible.

Robert,
My congratulations to you for doing the right thing here. Not only in corporate America (but mainly) many larger corporations have lost the ethical foundation. The overriding goal is to make big money for the CEO (in the first place) and to create (short term) value for the shareholders (in the second place). Moral values have often no place in the pursuit of their rather gready and short sighted goals. I am not a communist in any way but I think that the overall sustainability of their action and the impact on society as a whole has to be analyzed and corrected if needed. And hopefully your initiative is going to make a visible dent in the (smooth)surface of many of the big and misbehaving corporations. Good luck!
